Karl Rove: Hillary Clinton may have brain damage
By Emily Smith
May 12, 2014 | 9:06pm
Karl Rove stunned a conference when he suggested Hillary Clinton might have brain damage.
Onstage with Robert Gibbs and CBS correspondent and “Spies Against Armageddon” co-author Dan Raviv, Rove said Republicans should keep the Benghazi issue alive.
He said if Clinton runs for president, voters must be told what happened when she suffered a fall in December 2012.
The official diagnosis was a blood clot. Rove told the conference near LA Thursday, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”
Rove repeated the claim a number of times to the audience. Clinton’s rep said, “Please assure Dr. Rove she’s 100 percent.”

Rove's messin' with Hillary's head here!!!
She was wearing those big old coke-bottle glasses. Now, not so much.
What's with that?
-
MAY have brain damage? How can anyone who married and stuck with Bill Clinton NOT have brain damage?
-
She also does not make appearances where she has to stand for any length of time. When you see her, she is onstage in an easy chair with a moderator who conducts a discussion with her. And the coke-bottle glasses are another indicator something is not right with the Hildebeest....

Chyeah...that's what happens when you over-imbibe in the bottle.
Truthfully, she is one person that I won't shed a tear for if she strokes.
-
Shut up Karl.
-
I have a small suspicion that this entire focus on Hillary is a head fake. Get conservatives whipped up about her candidacy - in 2 years time, no less - then she'll drop out at the last minute and someone else will take the nomination.
-
The most obvious sign of brain damage, of course, is that she's a Democrat.

The only head fake here is that nobody is talking about her politics....the TITLE of her college thesis was "There's Only The Fight", ....about her hero Saul Alinsky.
Barack Hussein Obama IS the headfake.
Hillary Clinton is the Cleaner.
-
Liberalism is a brain disease and she is full of it.
I dunno about the damage.
-
We were saying that at the time of the alleged fall, especially about the glasses. I think there's something to it, not that it will matter to the LIV. More from the NY Post:
Despite Rove’s claims, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was discharged from New York Presbyterian Hospital after spending three days undergoing treatment for a potentially life-threatening blood clot.
She was seen walking out of the Manhattan hospital, for another series of tests but returned to the hospital shortly after. She needed more tests related to her condition, the AP reported, citing unnamed officials.
Clinton, weakened by a stomach virus, fell in her Washington DC, home in December 2012 and sustained a concussion. Her doctors said a blood clot had formed behind her right ear in the space between her brain and skull.

Karl Rove asks if Hillary suffered brain injury
Thomas Lifson
Rather clumsily, Karl Rove has placed Hillary Clinton’s health in question with remarks delivered last week to a conference in Los Angeles. Emily Smith of Page Six reports:
Onstage with Robert Gibbs and CBS correspondent and “Spies Against Armageddon” co-author Dan Raviv, Rove said Republicans should keep the Benghazi issue alive.
He said if Clinton runs for president, voters must be told what happened when she suffered a fall in December 2012.
The official diagnosis was a blood clot. Rove told the conference near LA Thursday, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”
Rove repeated the claim a number of times to the audience.
In fact, Mrs. Clinton spent three days in hospital after falling in her DC home in December of 2012 and reportedly suffering a blood clot in her brain. So Rove mucked up the opportunity to raise legitimate questions, since she did evade questioning over Benghazi for a period following the incident, and did receive further treatment.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Clinton has always done better when portraying herself as a victim of unfair attacks, and Rove walked right into that trap with his inaccurate charges. Lucianne Goldberg presciently remarked on her home page, “Rove running low on material,” which does reflect the reality that speaking fees for people like Rove are a substantial source of income, and the beast must be fed with new discussion points.
But if Hillary does decide to run for the presidency, her medical condition is a valid point of concern for voters. She is in her late 60s, after all. Of late, it appears that her weight has ballooned, with her face appearing fat, and her hips and lower body, clothed in loose garb, apparently spreading horizontally. If she were really in training for the rigors of a presidential campaign – an ordeal she understands firsthand – I doubt that she would let herself go the way she has.

NY Post: Karl Rove Suggests Hillary Clinton Has Brain Damage
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/13/Karl-Rove-Suggests-Hillary-Clinton-Has-Brain-Damage
Karl Rove reportedly suggested last Thursday that former Secretary of State and potential 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may have brain damage.
According to The New York Post, Rove told conference attendees in Los Angeles, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”
Clinton suffered a concussion when a stomach virus caused her to fall--right before she was scheduled to testify in December of 2012 about Benghazi, where four Americans were killed in a terrorist attack. Clinton's State Department blamed the murders on a YouTube video.
Clinton was officially diagnosed with "a potentially life-threatening blood clot."
A spokesperson for Hillary Clinton reportedly told the Post that Clinton was 100% healthy, adding that “Karl Rove has deceived the country for years, but there are no words for this level of lying.”

What difference, at this point, does it make?
Hillary's number one, and likely only, qualification is her gender. It's enough to get her elected.

Dunno about that. Remember, she has a habit of putting her foot in her fat mouth, especially when she's dodging sniper rounds. That's why she lost to obama in '08.

"May"? Anyone read her College valedictory? Any other thing she's said or written? Aside from being a walking cliché, she's not all that bright. Just tenacious. And mean as a snake, with the moral compass of a cross-eyed alley cat.

All of that is true but I think Rove is referring to what little is there having been physically damaged! Not the lack of endowment in the first place. :chairbang:

When this witch bites the dirt, there's only 5 words I want to see on her tombstone.
I'll even pay to have them engraved.

Which makes her a perfect politician.

"may have"? how about "was born with"?

Bill Clinton 'dumbfounded' by attack on Hillary
The former president came to the defense of his wife on Wednesday.
Title should read:
Serial rapist hound dog dumbfounded by attacks on heathen lying duplicitous b*tch.

Sometimes I wonder if all this bullshit saturation in the newscycle....."gay this, homosexual rights that, transgender this, lesbian rights that....."
is a cover for Obama's and/or Hillary Clinton's sexuality. Which would also provide Bill Clinton the exoneration he's been looking for.

Z A K L Y

"..is a cover for Obama's and/or Hillary Clinton's sexuality."
..and the creation of the spawn of Webb Hubbell was probably done artificially.
I doubt that Hillary has ever seen a penis.
-
I don't care about all that. A lot of people have extra-marital affairs.
She looks like Hillary. I'd leave Chelsea out of this.
But all this 24/7 blanket coverage of anything having to do with Gay Rights is really pissing me off.
-
I don't either. I only used it to point out that I truly believe that Hillary is a lesbian...
"not that there's anything wrong with that".

Do you really think she'll do a "Palin"?
I wonder who would want to follow in her (or obama's) footsteps.

If it's like Obama or even Bill Clinton, the next Democrat nominee with just appear out of nowhere. Could be anyone's guess.

Clinton’s brain: Fair concern about her health
By Rich Lowry
NY Post (http://nypost.com/2014/05/16/clintons-brain-fair-concern-about-her-health/)
May 16, 2014 | 8:14pm
It was inevitable that attacks on Hillary Clinton would be deemed sexist. We now know that they will be called ageist, too.
A report in the New York Post’s Page Six that Karl Rove told a conference last week that Hillary Clinton might be brain-damaged after a 30-day hospital stay during her illness at the end of 2012 caused a volcanic eruption of denunciation aimed at the Republican strategist.
Rove was accused, among other things, of dealing the age card from the bottom of the deck.
Rove denies saying “brain damage,” and the Page Six report didn’t put quote marks around that phrase.
He tells me he’s not sure whether he actually said she was in the hospital 30 days (it was three), but regardless, he meant to refer to the entirety of the 30-day episode when she was dealing with a virus, a fall and a subsequent concussion and blood clot between her brain and skull.
If we take Rove’s interview on Fox News the day after the Page Six item as the best explanation of his view, his basic points are unassailable — the state of Clinton’s health will play into her decision whether or not to run, she will have to be completely open about the 2012 episode and all of this will be filtered through the fact that she will be 69 if elected and 77 if she serves two terms.
The point about her health being a consideration in her decision-making is almost a tautology. Most everyone assumes that if she feels up for it, she’s a go.
And if not, she passes.
Even if you take at face value everything we’ve heard about Clinton’s condition in December 2012, it was frighteningly serious.
The clot, according to The Washington Post, “can cause permanent brain damage, coma or death if not detected and treated in time.”
News accounts say it was caught early, and Clinton is performing as ably as ever. But politicians have a long history of lying through their teeth about their health — see Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy and Paul Tsongas, for example.
So Clinton will have to provide a full accounting of the 2012 incident and her overall health.
And as for her age, of course it will be an issue. The problem with being an old candidate in American presidential politics is that people use it against you.
U.S. News & World Report had an item in April 2008 titled “Obama Campaign Plans to Hit at McCain’s Age.” The generational contrast between Obama and McCain didn’t have to be made explicitly; it was too self-evident to need much reinforcement, and Obama’s theme of hope and change played into it.
The Bill Clinton re-election campaign in 1996 feasted on contrasts between the new and old in its lopsided bout with the septuagenarian Bob Dole.
The age issue was so upfront that Time magazine ran a cover asking, “Is Dole Too Old for the Job?” and The New York Times ran a thumb-sucker wondering, “Is Age-Bashing Any Way to Beat Bob Dole?”
Of course, age is hardly dispositive. Ronald Reagan was the oldest president at age 70 in 1981 and embodied an invigorating optimism despite his years.
But age was an issue for him in 1980 and 1984, and a particular threat in the 1980 nomination fight when the speculation, early on, was that he had a light campaign schedule because he couldn’t handle anything more rigorous.
Hillary can potentially trump all this with openness about her medical records, and with an energetic and future-oriented campaign, should she run.
Her supporters, in the meantime, hope to deflect any questions with cries of ageism and sexism. It will be a nice change of pace to move on from racism as the Democratic rejoinder of choice to other “-isms” neglected during the past eight years.
But Rove is right: Hillary will have to deal with these questions.

Not going to get too excited over this. Have some faith.
Lots of time for the Satan to take her home before the campaigns heat up.
